The information given in this database is entered here as it is on the document or documents in the Maine Maritime Museum collections. The spelling of the mariner’s name may be wrong, the arithmetic may be wrong, and some descriptions may be thoughtless or not politically correct, but they are shown as found. We have attempted to standardize the names and descriptions of vessels and the spelling of place names. We have tried to include in notes fields important information that does not fit in the standard fields.

Mariners

For each mariner included in this database, we have entered whatever information is in the relevant documents. You may learn something from examining the related information – documents, voyages and vessels that are associated with a particular mariner.   We can send you the catalog inventory or finding aid for that collection – and there are likely to be other documents there which reveal something about the voyage and the ship, if not the crew.
